A Life Centered on Christ


“God sends no one away empty except those who are full of themselves” (D.L. Moody).

In general the American culture as a whole is extremely full of itself.  Commercials on television cater to instant gratification and consumerism.  Movies focus on how to satisfy our own cravings.  We cannot even walk through a grocery store without being bombarded with ways to please our own desires.  In short, our culture trains us to have a life centered on us, a very dangerous focus given the eternal consequences of such a life.

This Sunday morning we will begin a series on 2 Timothy, exploring what God has to say about a life centered not on ourselves, but on Christ alone.  What difference does a life centered on Christ have in our daily lives?  How do we grow closer to Christ?  What do we need to do to help others in their daily spiritual life?

Join us this week at Elm Creek Community as we seek God’s truth and gospel message.  May the Spirit prepare us to hear and be sharpened by God’s Word.

Striving to make Christ known,

Mark
